Eye Cream for Dark Circles

Bottom Line

Clinique Even Better Eyes Dark Circle
Corrector contains ingredients that immediately reduce the appearance of dark
circles and others that may diminish them over time. Whether the eye cream can truly
eliminate dark circles is debatable, but compounds within the formula can
strengthen and protect skin, which may make dark circles less noticeable. Although
this new product isn't reviewed much by users, we give it a Best Reviewed tag because
it's a top pick of two professional reviewers and it's loaded with
state-of-the-art ingredients. If you have puffy eyes, experts recommend a
cooling gel that contains caffeine like Estee Lauder Idealist Cooling Eye Illuminator(*Est. $60 for 0.5 oz.)

Performance

Temporary
brightening. Clinique
Even Better Eyes Dark Circle Corrector makes Allure magazine's list
of best
beauty products for 2012 because it produces instant results and
reduces dark
circles over time, editors say. Skin care expert Paula Begoun says
the formula "helps disguise dark circles" with a combination of titanium
dioxide to brighten the eye area, mica to reflect light away from
dark shadows and
iron oxides to conceal with a light flesh tone. She says the results
are purely
cosmetic, however, and the eye cream contains nothing that can
permanently
lighten dark circles. Its smoothing ingredients -- namely silicone
-- also
temporarily reduce the appearance of dark circles, she adds.

Even so, Begoun likes the formula's "beautiful array of
anti-aging ingredients to help strengthen skin around the eyes (or elsewhere on
the face) so it is better able to resist signs of aging that make dark circles
look worse." Clinique Even Better Eyes contains antioxidants such as vitamins
C and E and green tea extract; caffeine; mulberry root, which may have some
lightening properties; the anti-inflammatory phytosphingosine; and
cholesterol, which restores the skin's barrier. Allure editors say the eye
cream is very hydrating, but there aren't many user reviews.

Review Credibility: Excellent Begoun gives Clinique Even
Better Eyes Dark Circle Corrector her highest rating because it contains
"a beautiful array of anti-aging ingredients" as well as those that
help to conceal dark circles. She says it doesn't contain anything that will
permanently lighten dark circles, however, and regular concealer offers more
coverage.
